Scottish Championships 2010, Newburgh SC

The 2010 Scottish Mirror Championships were hosted by Newburgh SC during 10th and 11th July, and held on a tidal stretch of the River Tay, Perthshire. Visitors came from Helensburgh, Ilkley in West Yorkshire and Annandale SC.

After a welcome from Commodore John Cameron, the Race Officer Jim Allan briefed the competitors on the vagaries of sailing among mud-banks and reed beds on a river estuary which has strong tides and more freshwater flow than any other in Britain.

This event was held at the club during a spell of warm and pleasant weather. The winds were light and variable, which tested the skills and patience of the contestants, and also of the race officers! Five races were held, three back-to-back on Saturday, and two back-to-back on Sunday. The contestant's ages ranged from 9 years to 73 years.

Scottish Championships 2006, Annandale SC

A healthy fleet of thirty two Mirrors from as far afield as Falmouth, Essex and Shetland congregated at Annandale Sailing Club in Dumfries and Galloway for their Scottish Championship on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd July.

The diverse fleet included several members of the World Championship squad as well as many Open Meeting first timers, however competition was close and interesting throughout. Despite the enticing football match the Race Officer was determined to complete the three scheduled races on Saturday, a decision that was justified when Sunday dawned windless.
